This year, Memorial Day comes as the US quickly approaches 100,000 deaths from Covid-19, surpassing the number of US military members who died in Vietnam. Soon, it may approach the number of American soldiers who died in World War I. President Donald Trump has ordered the flags to be flown at half-staff at federal buildings and monuments through Memorial Day to honor the nation's victims of the virus.
Janice Blanchard The President seems to think of the Covid-19 pandemic as a war. In March, he referred to the developing crisis as a"medical war." In April, he tweeted that the coronavirus was an"Invisible Enemy" that would"soon be in full retreat!" And just this month he referred to the providers who treat coronavirus patients as"health care warriors...running into death just like soldiers run into bullets.
